Read our privacy policy Barry Steenkamp, the father of Reeva Steenkamp, the woman who was fatally shot by Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius, has died, a family spokesperson said Friday. Barry Steenkamp met face-to-face with Pistorius last year as part of a program in South Africa that gives victims of crime or their families a chance to confront offenders who have applied for parole. “I told Oscar directly that he had shot my daughter deliberately and he denied it,” Barry Steenkamp said in an interview with British newspaper The Daily Mail of the meeting with Pistorius in 2022. He should remain in jail.” Reeva's mother, June Steenkamp, attended the parole hearing for Pistorius in March, when authorities ruled that he would only be eligible to be released in August next year.
